Okay, so I wanna talk about this “10 of Swords present” thing I’ve been messing around with. It’s been a wild ride, let me tell you.
I started out with this situation, a total mess, felt like I was backed into a corner, you know? Like there were swords pointing at me from every direction, pretty much ready to turn me into a human pincushion. That’s what this whole “10 of Swords” thing felt like. It’s supposed to represent hitting rock bottom, a total and utter collapse. And boy, did I feel that. I was in a relationship that, well, let’s just say it wasn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows. It felt more like a constant downpour with a side of thunder and lightning. Anyway, it was clear that things were over, finished, kaput.
I knew I had to get out, to leave that whole mess behind. It was like being stuck in a burning building – you don’t stick around to admire the wallpaper, you get the heck out! So, I packed my metaphorical bags and walked away. It wasn’t easy, not by a long shot. It felt like tearing off a band-aid that had been superglued on. Painful? You bet. But necessary? Absolutely.
After I made that tough decision, I had to deal with the aftermath. There were tears, there was anger, there was a whole lot of “what ifs” and “why mes.” But I kept going. I focused on myself, something I hadn’t done in a long time. I started doing things I enjoyed, things that made me happy. It was like rediscovering a part of myself that had been buried under a pile of, well, swords.
- Accepted the reality.
- Made the tough choice to leave.
- Dealt with the emotional fallout.
- Refocused on myself and my own happiness.
Now, this “10 of Swords present” thing, it’s all about embracing the end, acknowledging the pain, and letting go of what’s not working. It’s about realizing that sometimes, things just have to fall apart so you can rebuild something better. It’s like a hurricane tearing through a town. It’s destructive, it’s scary, but once it passes, you can assess the damage and start rebuilding. You may lose some things, but you gain the opportunity to create something stronger, more resilient.
The 10 of Swords also tells us that tough times don’t last forever. It reminds us that even after the darkest night, the sun will rise again. We can’t let negativity keep us down, you know?

I learned that it’s okay to let go. It’s okay to walk away from something that’s hurting you, even if it’s hard. I learned that I’m stronger than I thought I was. And I learned that even when things seem like they’re at their absolute worst, there’s always hope for a better tomorrow. It’s like they say, “This too shall pass.” And you know what? It does. It really does.
